Behavioural Safety programs develop both individual responsibility and sharedvigilance. Individuals learn to identify unsafe behaviours and apply these learnings totheir own work. The identification of unsafe behaviours or unsafe acts can also beapplied to a team, a crew or an organization so that through shared vigilance theworking environment is made safer.A number of effective programs have been developed to help individuals andorganizations deal with unsafe behaviour. Some of these programs are describedbriefly below as a starting point in behavioural safety.! STOP – Safety Training Observation ProgramsThe STOP is designed to encourage safety observations and discussions on a crewor worksite and lead to the identification of unsafe behaviour or working conditions.STOP is based on a safety observation cycle, which involves:1. Decide to make observations;2. Make time during work to make observation;3. Observe people and working conditions to identify unsafe behaviour orconditions;4. Act on observations, speaking with colleagues in a positive manner or takingcorrective action. A STOP observer is expected to provide face-to-facefeedback on their observation as soon as it is safe and practicable for theperson being observed to stop work;5. Report the observation and corrective action on a pocket sized STOP card,which is handed over to a supervisor. The card is signed by the observer, butthe identity of the observed person is not disclosed.If trends in unsafe behaviours are observed, then the crew should set goals forimprovement, and establish an improvement program.! Work Observation ProgramsWork Observation Programs rely on focused observation of work tasks, effective twowaycommunication, and individual goal-setting for better performance. In theseprograms, line managers and supervisors are encouraged to engage in positivesafety related interactions with workers.In a typical work observation program, observations are made of people at work.Through observation and open, non-threatening questions, the observer examinesany risks and hazards present, possible injuries and how they can be prevented. Ifunsafe behaviour is observed, the observer seeks a commitment from the personbeing observed to change their behaviour in the future.! Time Out for Safety (TOFS)Page 14 of 136
TOFS was developed in a drilling environment where team members work closelytogether and team members need to have a clear understanding of what is happeningaround them. Time out for safety provides team members with a mechanism to stopany operation if they have safety concerns. A "time out" is called by making a "T"sign with the hands. The team listens to the individual's concerns, discusses the job,and agrees on any actions that are necessary to ensure that the job is completedsafely.! Employee Led Safety ProgramsEmployee-led safety programs aim to improve employee safety behaviour throughpeer observation, goal setting and feedback. This type of program is owned andmanaged by a team or crew, with support from local and senior management. Theprogram develops employee ownership and involvement in safety.Once the employees establish the program, safe and unsafe behaviours are definedbased in part on a review of previous accidents. A checklist is established for clearlyspecified safe and unsafe behaviours. Participants systematically monitor theircolleagues' safety behaviour in a collaborative atmosphere.Workgroups set their own collective safety improvement targets. Feedback isprovided to the workgroup each week to allow them to track their progress againsttargets.These Behavioural Safety programs can lead to improved safety performance, a betteracceptance of responsibility for safety and a better understanding of the relationshipbetween behaviour and accidents. Note, however, that each of these programs requiresthorough preparation and advance training.2.1 Health and HygieneEmployees need to be physically fit and healthy. A medical check may be required atpre-employment and on a scheduled basis. Personnel should advise their Manager and/or Medic of:• Conditions that may prevent them from completing the job in a safe manner.• Any drugs, which their own doctor prescribes.• Any other self-medication.Prevailing conditions may require employees to participate in a supervised program ofmedication and inoculations against disease. Full participation is important to maintainhealth and fitness.Good health depends on a balance of work, rest, sensible and regular meals, adequatesleep and an avoidance of alcohol, tobacco and drugs.In close communities like on board ship, simple infections can easily be spread from oneperson to others. Preventive measures, as well as easily effective treatment, areessential.Employees should be aware of their own body mass index (BMI), which measures yourheight/weight ratio. (It is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height inPage 15 of 136
